Human rights act should be 'criminal rights act', Braverman claims as Tory frogmarched out for 'softly-spoken heckling'

The Home Secretary also referred to current levels of immigration as being "too high", referencing a "hurricane" of migration that looks set to land on our shores.

She said that the trend of immigration that brought her own parents to the UK was just a "gust" in comparison to the "hurricane" that's coming. Her speech followed comments made by fellow Tory MP, Nicola Richards, who said that politicians “have a responsibility to make sure we are talking about facts”.

Her stark comments appeared to divide the Conservative party, with London Assembly Chair, Andrew Boff, "a loyal Conservative of 50 years" forcibly removed from the venue during her speech.The London Assembly member added that her comments were "making the Conservative party look transphobic and homophobic" as he was removed from the site in Manchester by police.

"The luxury beliefs brigade sit in their ivory towers telling ordinary people that they are morally deficient because they dare to get upset about the impact of illegal migration, net zero, or habitual criminals."
